Someone once told him
As prevously mentined I took part in the photography project Someone Once Told Me which I think is a great idea, whilst at the party where I had my photo taken several of my friends also agreed to take part including my old university friend and former flatmate Al. I’m pleased to say I think the photo of him came out well which you can see here
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mario again last night as folloing on from my picture another friend signed up to take part and had his picture taken, being a notably shy person when it comes to haveing his photo taken he was quite leased with the results which should hopefully be up on the site in the next few weeks
Someone once told me…
Has someone once told you something that has stuck with you for a very long time, something of importance that has reflected the way you’ve lived your life, or something simple and fun that it just hangs around in your head. Getting these words out is the premise behind the wonderful photography project Someone Once Told Me.
I’ve been lucky enough to meet Mario who runs the site and had my picture taken for the project whilst out on a mutual friends birthday celebrations, I was more than happy to take part and I wasn’t the first to indulge in the project that evening and helped Mario rope in a few more participants.
The basis of the site is very simple:
“Black and white photographs
A new one every day
Each person writes a message
Of something that someone once told them”
For mine I used a quote from a friend that I had received a couple of months earlier in a birthday card from them. The quote just stuck in my head when I read it and when I found out about this project I knew exactly from the start what I wanted to write. It was also timed nicely as the birthday celebrations I was at when the photograph was taken was for the person who wrote me the quote in the first place.
You can see my quote and my slightly dramatic pose over at the Someone Once Told Me websites archive
My quote on Someone Once Told Me
I think this is great project and as well as an interesting photography project I think it is a great insight into peoples minds and how things people say can influence us.
